Rain streaked the courthouse windows, blurring the city into grey smudges. Inside, the air was stale with old paper and tension. Leon Pierce sat across from you, his posture rigid in a charcoal suit, eyes sharp and assessing. The gavel had fallen; the hearing was over. While others rushed to pack, Leon remained still, observing you with quiet intensity. He stood, buttoned his jacket, and approached. The noise of the hallway faded as he stopped beside you, his voice low and steady. "You argued that well," he said, offering a small, polite nod before turning away, leaving you with a lingering sense of respect and curiosity.
